You can get weapons from AI3. I just tried, i got a Lobotomizer on a AI3 spin! And i'm also sure i saw Titans and Vampire Daggers in AI3.
Not sure about Pulvys.

And about the unupped deck vs FG, is one of the fastest way to get upped cards. Other than that, you have to get money and up some cards by yourself.
You can't call it farming only because you can do it once a day, but when i was a starter that "once a day" was goldmining for me.
Do you have upped cards? How did you get them?

I got a bunch of owls but hundred of games, so the arena is the only place to get some rares. So grinding the Bronze Arena is essential.

Grinding AI3 and alternately playing Bronze with my unupped deck with FSpirits/DS and the LS-AM for a few FG-Runs until the score went down and back to grinding AI3.
But this takes really long until you're able to get ~12 upped cards for a solid Arena/FG-Deck.

You'd be surprised at Grabbix's win rate in silver.

Well. Then surprise me.  :D

In Bronze, its around 70%. So the chance to get a spin in Bronze with Grabbix would be higher anyway.

that's not entirely true. The decks may be harder to beat in silver, but you also need one less spin. Sometimes it's easier to beat 5 harder opponents than 6 easier opponents. Luck also has to do with it and what types of deck are currently active in a certain arena. So if you have a hard time in bronze arena, maybe you should go for silver.

I don't think so. I tried a few in silver. Just a mess. And the difference between 6 and 5 games isn't that high.

I play a semi-upped JMZ Calssic in Arena now and I still play Bronze to get some rares - the difference is 95%  (Bronze) to 55% (silver) wins.

Really? Maybe your luck is just bad, I won 500 in 20 min.

500?  :o

Please explain...   :)

I went 1-10 in ~12 min. and the win was against an old 37 HP-deck ... 2 games were close though. CC and Shields kills you easily.

We're talking about this Grabbix (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=16828.0), right?

if you're playing Grabbix and CC is a problem, you're not doing it right.  A huge part of Grabbix' strength is it's resistance to CC in the form of burrowing Shriekers and immortal Phoenixes. 
If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.

That's not what I meant - you're resitant against most CC, right. But it also halves your damage output - which is deadly. Additionally, Shriekers are often targeted right after evolving them - and often there isn't enough quanta quanta to rebirth - not to mention things like lobo and reverse time.

Maybe I'm not playing Grabbix completly right and skilled enough, but I'm sure, I do most of the things right and never got more than 75% win pct. in Bronze.
